I wonder how the worksite will be.

^I know a local band they SHOULD have playing.

I remember like the first year they did fearfest and the kid version, cant remember if they called it nick or treat back then or not. I dont remember how old I was but I remember taking my little sister around the halloween events and her crying along with a bunch of other kids everywhere because the thing was so bad. I remember countless kids going to get candy from an employee handing out but the employee would tell the kids they needed some sort of map that had to be colored and you got the map when you bought a fun pack or something, I remember screaming parents, hay, and smashed pumpkins everywhere. I'm glad to see the event has turned around to be better for kids. I remember working last year in the rides department when Id watch the kids they always seemed to have a blast.

Speaking as someone who used to work and is related to a current guest relations employee at PKI, SOB is not complained about as much as you think, there are other more pressing issues guests confront the guest realtions department about.

Thanks for posting those Avatar, those are great That was a fun day, I wish I would've volunteered to dress up.

^thats good news, I sure hope so.

^We were discussing holiday horror and differnt views on it. Please leave the moderating to the moderators and read before criticizing... Thanks! -CombatStupendous89

^lol, i was just making a point that you cant make everyone happy and cater to everyones opinions cause someone will always disagree. Yeah, its not called "christmas" fest, but its pretty obvious that it is. Still a great event none the less, and its in no way offensive to anyones beliefs.

^Actaully, the whole spongebob thing is a conspiracy. Quite a few radical "family values" groups have attempted distributing videos to schools about how Spongebob is really subliminal support for homosexuality. However, that is just a conspiracy and has never been admitted, but denunced by the shows creator Stephen Hillenberg, if it were true, Nickelodeon would probably be too afraid to run it. King Bowser, how is holiday horror stepping on someones ideals? Because its christmas and gore mixed? What abou winterfest, an event that was almost entirely based on Christmas, yet I didnt see a Kwanza section or Chaunukah section. Wasn't that kind of stepping on Jewish ideals? Not saying your wrong, but I dont see anything wrong with Holiday Horror, its not like their's going to be ghosts and goblins around a manger scene.

I'd play, definently.

^The Lights and no smoking speils in the station still work and The Beast roars on the lift hills are still on. The only thing removed was the roar in the station.

Steel Venom was closed when I went but when I went to CP WT was amazing! PKIBeast, Im glad to hear the villian will be re-habbed, God knows it needs it terribly. By far, the worst coaster I've ever beeen on, including Son of Beast.

I dont know what they should do with SOB but I know what should be done with this topic, it should be closed. I know what they should do with swanky, remind him of the search feature. Seriously, its not that hard.

The pki website isnt to bad, but extremely hard to navigate and find what your looking for, even before i contributed to this site or even posted here I always reccomended PKIC to relaitves looking to come to PKI.

^I believe coastersnsich took those pictures. Topgun1993, the back porch picnic grove, like the actual picnic grove, can be rented out by groups that want to enjoy a private picnic but arent going to use a whole area in the actual picnic grove.

^Thanks PKIBeast and no, you are not an a-hole on this site, we are glad you contribute your posts here, everyone makes this site what it is and every little post counts for something and everyone is generally willing to listen with an open mind on here. Everyone seems to have a general understanding of eachother, thats what makes this site the best and most popular pki fan site, unlike some of the other ones where the little kids moderate and staff while the few that post runr ampant with garbage. Like PKIBeast said, many people have become good friends through this site, he and I got in awful arguments that even got us banned temporarily about 2 years ago and now were great friends, hopefulyl we'll be meetung up for the first time at the huge PKIC event/trip planned this summer. PKIC is just going to continue to grow and get even better, especially witht he dedication all you guys give. Everyone helps and everyone appreciates it! This site, just like Kings Island, is for everyone. No matter what age you are theres something here for you and a place for you, the other sites in no way offer that same feel.

^Are you sure, I'm about 90 percent sure ti was, my neighbor has one and he has nothing to do with ACE.

The video was for sale during the 2004 season in the parks gift shops, hopefully someone has the video and would be willing to make copies for a price. However, I personally have no desire EVER to see that video again. 2005 was my final year working at the park and my home ride was The Beast, i have that video memorized. The year was 1979... ...disco was still hot... ...Americans were watching Dallas on television.... ....and Monday Night Footballl ...while at the silver screen star trek was making its debut... ...and in a small corner of souther ohio... ...Something BIG was happening.... ...something huge.... ...a monster... ...it could only be called The Beast... ...and this is its story! Oh and I can go on MUCH longer.

^Excellent point klockster!

Watson, you are not the one to cast the first stone and claim others dont know s asterik asterik t. First off, how do you know what hydraulic fluid looks like? Secondly, what type of hydraulic fluid does Delirium use? Third, where on the ride would hydraulic fluid be sprouting from? Lets get some answers here: Number 1: You may know what hydraulic fluid looks like, but i bet you arent able to tell it right off The Bat when you see it considering you've never worked a ride, never performed maintenace on a ride, or know anything baout how the Huss giant top spin is engineered. Number 2: You dont know how/if/or what type of hydraulic fluid is used on Delirium, or where it is used on Delirium if at all depending on the parts, conditions, and status of the ride. Why dont you tell me how the operations team normally operates the ride and tell me what hydraulic fluid does to human skin. Number 3: Why dont you elaborate instead of treading yourself deeper into this water known as your exagerated truth and tell us where the hydraulic fluid is on Delirium, how it gets there, what type of system moves it through the ride etc. Ladies and gentlemen of the forums, both the Klockster and I are former seasoned veteran employees of Paramount's Kings Island. We can answer the questions i just poised of Flight of Fear 1996 and have a decent understanding of how most of the rides work, not a perfect knowledge but a decent one at least, and one that is much better then flightoffear1996, an average guest known for his illegal on ride photography and flaming posts does. Read these posts with knowledge and remember not everything is truth, if it was really hydraulic fluid or some dangerous fluid or something as bad as mr. watson has made it out to be, the parks wonderful and professional operations team would've handled it in the appropriate maner and you can bank on it. For all Flight of Fear 1996 knows, it could've just been someone getting sick to a bird using the restroom in a bad place to a stain from some food the guests had earlier. The delay could've been caused by a disabled guest boarding the ride or the retrieveing of a lost article, perhaps even a few height checks. The state comes out to assure the employees know how to hand situations and are properly trained. I'm sure everything was fine.

I had heard nothing but bad things about thunderhawk but when I rode it, blue train, it was actually really fun. It didnt bang my head around one bit, but it was very forceful. The layout over the nasty lake water is pretty neat.

^Hydraulic Fluid? From what part on the ride? If you are 100% sure it was hydraulic fluid them I'm sure you can tell me how exactly a Huss Giant Frisbee operates/where that fluid is stored/where the fluid mst've come from. Then I'm also sure you can tell me how the operations staff would handle such an incident, speaking as a former employee, if a guest was sprayed wtih a substance from a ride, especially hydraulic fluid, then I'm about %99.9999981 percent sure that some one would come out to have a look, talk to those guests, or temporarily close the ride. Just opening it back up after someone was sprayed with what you claim was "hydraulic fluid" would be awful guest perception. So, lets tell the truth, not just make it up.

The Beast had a seperator today because GE has their own special walk on passes that they award to certain guests but im unsure of which fashion they do that in. The promotion for that ended at 10 and they did it for the rides that had Gold Pass Speed Lane lines this year. All the magnetic trim breaks are still on The Beast and all still operate (lets not start this debate again ) Glad to see you had a great trip!

I only remember one thing about when i saw the day after tommorow with my then girlfriend and it had nothing to do with that awful movie. Poor Dennis Quaid.
